The car was parked in a garage for 5 years without moving it. We fired it up and drove it home, 1200km at 140/160 km/h. Great fun, but we forgot to check oil in auto box, so we had some trouble in the end. Don't forget it's a car from 1972! I wouldn't do the same with a Ferrari or Maserati, not even a Mercedes.

Correction: problem with the steering is not overheating, we're working on it now.

I have had my Fidia for over 20 years and although I have several other "sports cars" it is truly one of my favorites. I had it at Concours Italiano some years ago when Count Rivolta was there, he approached and looked the car over very closely, then kissed me on both cheeks and said "Primo, Primo". I followed by getting him to sign my Owner's Manual - it made for a great day.
